There are 7 Material Tpes in PLM.

For all materials or material colors to be added into PLM, it is best practice for a the team member to reach out to the RM Team (via email) and request that the material and/or material color be entered into PLM.

• The Handbag Team will enter their own materials and material colors as needed.
• The Sweater PD Team will enter their own yarn materials and yarn material colors as needed.
• The Denim & Non-Denim PD Team will add their own material colors (Color Type: Wash (Denim)) to Fabrics (Fabric Type: Denim) as needed.
• The RM/ Trim Team will add/update all materials, except the material type Yarns.
